Event Ten.





Little Willie, mean as hell,
Pushed his sister in a well.
Mother said, while drawing water,
"My, it's hard to raise a daughter."





t's pretty dark and miserable down in the well. The cavernous area feels much larger than a well should be, bodies milling about in the darkness and knee deep, frigid water. So you're here -- and you're not alone, and the only way out appears to be the thin circle of sunlight from above, the opening of the well.

(And elsewhere, in the Town, everyone's waking up to gifts of various usefulness, but hopefully they remember to check the well today even so!)

What now?




Welcome to Awash's tenth event log, and the intro log for this month, everyone! All new characters have found themselves waking in the well in the middle of the Town. Hopefully they can get a hand out! For more information, please go here!

Meanwhile, the current characters have some new gifts.

If there are any questions, please ask them here, and have fun! Thank you!

[ thank you... it's not quite what she expected to hear and, fundamentally, she understands why minato says it. yet he's the one that should be hearing it, not saying it...?

still...

she shakes her head. it's not the wrong thing to say, but she also doesn't need to be thanked. not for something she couldn't control--though she would have certainly made the choice if she could have. ]


It isn't wrong. I... promised to be by your side, so being here isn't something I couldn't want.

[ it's true. being by his side would never be the wrong decision, not in her eyes--especially when the possibility became an impossibility. their other friends were safe, so...

... keeping minato company and ensuring his safety had always been one of her priorities. this time wasn't any different.

even if it's difficult. even if it's dangerous. even... if it was delaying the reality of it. ]


I almost wish I could have come sooner...

[But is she okay? Is it okay that she made that promise to be by his side? Is she okay now that he's--

There are a lot of things that he worries about, that weigh on his mind, but... he can't ask. Not yet. Not right now. Maybe...another time.

... Another time, surely, he'll be able to ask.]


Please don't worry about that.

[He flashes her a small smile, weak but sincere.]

I've been fine here, so... you're just in time.

[Lonely, maybe a little, but... he wouldn't wish some of what this place does on any of his team.]

Okay?
finalize: (don't you worry i'll be here)

[ just in time...

it's hard to believe that when every variation of being here could only be late in her eyes, considering the circumstances they come from.

but. well. she'd hate to burden him more than she already has, so... ]


... Okay.

[ her hands go up one last time to her eyes, wiping away any last remnants of wetness there. she's... since stopped crying, she thinks, but there's an overwhelming kind of feeling that lingers with all of this.

for obvious reasons.

she's a good mix of okay, not okay, and... silent, as she finds the strength to return the small smile he gives her, every bit as sincere as he is. ]


... Thank you.

[ she finds the strength for that, too.

somehow.

though it isn't quite clear if that thank you is just for this one instance of reassurances in a sea of things he's done for her, or for a whole lot more than that. ]

[There's so much that needs to be said, and Minato knows this is far from over... but not right now. Not while Aigis is still wiping tears from her eyes, and Minato's feeling a little emotionally frayed himself, beneath that calm exterior.

So.

He smiles at her, and offers her his hand.]


Do you want to stay with me while we're here? We'll have to find your laptop, but we can do that later.

[For now... maybe if he helps her get settled in, she'll feel less like he's about to disappear.

He can hope so, can't he...?

It's the least he can do, when he knows he was the one to put this expression on her face in the first place.]
finalize: (safe and sound.)

[personal profile] finalize 2018-09-22 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ is that a feeling that'll go away...? maybe in a couple of weeks. months. but for now, she still isn't sure--she's uncertain enough that, when she takes minato's hand, she still feels like somehow he'll fade away.

but, like he has through this entire conversation... he remains.

and little by little, that helps. ]


If... that's all right. I'd like to be close by to you... especially when everything is so unfamiliar.

[ like home. as usual, aigis says those kinds of things without even missing a beat.

it's... so odd, how she just find herself slipping back into everything she's missed and sworn to, just like that.

yet it's so odd, how it doesn't quite feel the same. ]
messianic: (candle wax and waning death)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-09-22 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I want.

[He wants her to stay close by. He wants her to be with him, as if they're at home. It might be selfish, but... right now, that comfort is more than anything he could ask for.

It means more to him than he could ever say.]


I'd feel better to have you close by, Aigis.

[And so, he starts to walk, slow measured steps towards where he's been living.]
finalize: (even if i fall)

[personal profile] finalize 2018-09-23 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Then... that's where I will be.

[ that's what she says, heartfelt and true, as she follows closely behind him. who could ever really expect any other response from her, really? so long as minato was all right, she would be too.

for now...

for now. ]
